It's not just that I like to crochet, I just can't stop doing it! I've written one book and contributed to a couple of others. If there are any publishers out there looking for an author for a brand new crochet book, look no further...

I am happy to take on commissions – click the link at the top of the main page to email me.
I work in a wide range of media, including papier maché, crochet and knitting, embroidery and collage. This is just a small selection of work...

People often ask me what I use on my hair, as purple and pink are obviously not my natural colours. So it's time to share my secret: it's called Stargazer and it's available in a whole rainbow of colours. I usually use Plume on top and Magenta at the sides and sometimes a tiny touch of Turquoise Blue right at the front. It's not expensive, it's easy to apply and, as my hair is naturally curly, the whole effect is very low-maintenance.

One of my painting students gave me a lovely posy of lilies of the valley which lasted only a few days but looked delightful in a little china jug on the table in my back yard. The cheerful yellow colour of the jug with the whites and neutrals of the wall, the seashells and the scales, and the perfect purple pansy were so pretty I just had to take a picture.
